Complete Edition Including All 81 Exercises and 366 Musical Examples In 5 Parts

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE

In opposition to the still popular impression that such books as these are written only for the use of composers, and that only those who intend or hope to become composers ever need to study harmony, the author avers his belief that none of the many branches of musical discipline is so indispensable as that which treats of the Science of music; and he therefore wishes to be understood as having prepared this treatise more particularly for the musician in general, than for the very small minority of composing musicians.
